Wow! I've been busy. My new short story collection Robot Hearts is live. I'm waiting on the print copies that should arrive tomorrow.
Here's the blurb for Robot Hearts
Nine science fiction stories about robots!
Feminist twists, sentimental journeys, nostalgia and an Australian icon feature in this collection of short stories.
These tales draw from an imagined past, with 'Be Still My Beating Clockwork Heart'. They delve into Australian icons with Clancy of the Overflow recast in space with robot sheep in 'Clancy'. These stories dabble in the life of an augmented soldier in 'The Cleansing', an immortal woman and her android bodyguard in 'Bodily Control' and robot baby-sitters in 'Crash Baby' and 'Robot Heart.'
A future where technology is entwined with human lives, such as an AI boyfriend in 'Bee Friend', or deep technology integration in 'Winnie’s Remedial Reading and Writing Class' and the ultimate twist in 'The Discontented Wife'.
I had so much fun with this. Price is $2.99 USD and $3.99 AUD.

Writing update
Destiny's Blood, the Cursed Ones Book Three by Dani Kristoff went to the editor last week. I'm afraid it won't be ready for Fiction and Friction Indie Book Convention in Adelaide on the 12th of October. If it is, it will be a miracle. I have promo material to hand out.
I had fun with this draft. I merging the two Dani Kristoff series in this book and probably from now on. A half-witch from Sydney Coven and a werewolf from the Cursed One series.
For some reason, Send Fox is not letting me paste the blurb so I'll put in the link to the book here.
I'm now focussed on drafting Amber Rose, Book Three in the Cry Havoc series. I don't have a timeline on this. I thought it would be this year but I'm not sure. I'm off on holidays in two weeks and then other stuff is going on. Jemima Hardcastle is so much fun so I am enjoying the story.
Appearances
I'll be signing and selling books in Adelaide at Fiction and Friction Indie Book Convention on 12 October, 2024. I've got quite a few appearances lined up for next year. If you are there say hi!
All the best from me.
Regards
Donna/Dani
